CUTTING III REVENUE.
h Administrations TArin Bill as Re-
vised by CarIisle.

hu AGuihnAhbEA<tCM 4HElM DIAL ~ Ek6s
vised by Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.-The admins
tration bill which will go before the
ways and means committee with the en-
dorsement Of Speaker Carlisle, after the
holiday recess, as the basis Of revenue
reform, contemplates q reduction of $685.
600, 600 annual revenue. OF this mount
$50, 600, 600 is to come from reductions
of duties chiefly on manufactures, and
$l2,0 ~ 900 from adding wool, salt, lum-
Der, coal, ETC., to the free list. The bill
aims at q very extensive revision of the
present methods of administering the
tariff law and at remedying inconsistent
cies and inequalities in the law, as we'll
as a general reduction Of the high rate of
tariff taxes. 1t proposes the substitution
OF specific for ad yalorem rates where
the latter are difficult of enforcement.
In the chemical, earthen and glassware
schedules numerous judicious reduc-
lions are proposed. In metal material,
reductions upon iron and steel are recon-
mended. In the wool and wooden sched-
nle, raw wool being made free, the rates
on wooden fabrics are so
reduced as to take away
about $40, GOO, 600 upon the basis of last
years importation. Inconsistencies as
to rates on worsted and wooden cloths
are corrected, and here occurs some OF
the most important changes proposed In
the bill. The bill embraces the schedules
prepared for congress last winter by
Secretary Fairchild, substituting specific
for ad valorem duties on silks, gloves,
and embroideries. 1t also includes the
Hewitt plan for reform of the customs
administrative service, with some
changes and additions suggested by treas
ury experiences since Mr.. Hewitt's bill
was first introduced. The measure, 1t is
said, is the result of inealculable labor
and care, and is the outgrowth of years
of study and experience on The part of
treasury experts.

SHOWING AN INTEREST.

The-Duty of Adapting Ourselves to Others
 Lives in Order to Advance the Cause of
 the Master.
 This is the way of some who are counted peculiarly easy in their man. ner of adapting themselves to all whom they meet, but who have won their power by hard work, against their natural inclination, and who retain that power only by continued effort in its timely exercise. They have studied womanly methods of thought and feel ing, as over against the manly methods, by the reaping of the best portraitures of woman by various women writers as well as those by men. They have watched the ways of children as children, Tn order to understand children, and to adapt themselves in telligently to children. They have in- formed themselves, from time to time, of the different subjects of society con- versation, or of the more prominent themes of popular interest, outside of their own sphere of personal life ;and whether they find themselves at place of summer resort, or at a church socia- ble, or at market-place, they deliber- ately consider their companions of the hour, and adapt their conversation to them, as if they were doing it sponta- neously. Nor are these men mere so- Ciety lovers, or seekers after the repu- tation of universal friendliness. Often it Is by mental wrench that they break away from their personal absorption in congenial thought or occupation, and strive unselfishly to conform them selves to the tastes and needs of others as means of well doing in the world. And if they are thus all things to all, in order that they may by all things rightly represent their Master, and win 10 His loving service, they are more than justified in this eadeavor to have and to show q kindly interest in their fellows. -S.-S. TIDleS.

the pillow before going to bed Is sup posed to insure a pleasant sleep in spite of fetiches; but the surest way to provide against being "hoodooed," as the American residents call it, is to open one's pillow from time to time. If any charms are found they must be first sprinkled with salt then burned.
 To point either end of a broom at a person is deemed bad luck, and many an ignorant man would instantly knock down or violently abuse the party who should point broom at him. Moreover, the broom is supposed to have mysterious power as a means of getting rid of people. '1f you are pestered by visitors whom you would wish never to see again, sprinkle salt on the floor after they go, and sweepit out by the same door through which they have gone, and they will never come back"
 The negroes believe that in order to make an evil charm operate it is necessary to sacrifice something. Wine and cake are left occasionally in dark rooms, or candles are scattered over the sidewalks by those who want to make their fetich hurt somebody. If food or sweetmeats are thus thrown away, they must be abandoned with out a parting glance; the witch or wizard must not look back while en- gagged in the sacrifice.
 Prof William Henry. of New Or leans, received from negro servant for whom he had done some trifing favor a gift of ''frizzly hen' '-one of those funny little fowls whose feathers all seem to curl "Mars'r Henry, you keep dat frizzly hen, an eff enny nig- gers frow enny conjure in your yard dat frizzly hen will eat de conjure. :" Some say, however, that one is not safe unless he keeps two frizzly hens.
 A negro charm to retain the afec- tions of lover consists in tying up the legs of the bird to the head, and plunging the creature alive into yes sel of gin or other spirits. Tearing the live bird asunder is another cruel charm, by which some negroes believe that sweetheart may become mag ically fettered to the man who per forms the quartering.
 Scattering dirt before a door, or certain figures on the wall of a house with chalk, or crumbling dry leaves with the fingers and scattering the fragments before a residence are forms of maleicent conjuring which sometimes cause serious annoyance. Nea0S.

VOUDOO CHARMS.
A Species of Witchcraft Which Has Many
 Believers in Louisiana.

A Species of Witchcraft Which Has Many
 Believers in Louisiana.
 The fear of what are styled ''voudoo charms, 7" is much more widely spread in Louisiana than any one who had con- versed only with educated residents might suppose; and the most familiar superstition of this class is the belief in pillow magic. which is the supposed art of causing wasting sicknesses, or even death, by putting certain objects into the pillow of the bed in which the hated person sleeps. Feather pillows are supposed to be particularly well adapted to this kind of wItchcraft It is believed that by secret spells a ''voudoo" can cause some monstrous kind of bird or nondescript animal to shape itself into being out of the pillow feathers. It grows very slowly, and by night only; but when completely formed the person who has been using the pillow dies. Another practice of pillow witchcraft consists in tearing a living bird asunder-usually peacock and putting portions of the wings into the pillow. A third form of the black art is con- fined to putting certain charms or fetiches-consisting of bones, hair, feathers, rags, strings or some fan tastic combination of these and other trifiing objects-into any sort of a pill low used by the party whom it is de- sired to injure.
 Placing charms before the entrance of a house or room, or throwing them over wall into yard, is believed to be deadly practice. When a charm is laid before a room door or hall door, oil is often poured on the floor or pave ment in front of the threshold. It is supposed that whoever crosses an oil line falls into the power of the voudoos. To break the oil charm, sand or salt should be strewn upon it. Recently a Spaniard, shortly after having dis charged a dishonest colored servant, found before his bedroom door one evening pool of oil with charm lying in the middle of it and candle burning near it. The charm contained some bones, feathers, hairs and rags all wrapped together with a string and dime. No superstitious person would have dared to use that dime.
 Some say that putting grains of corn into child's pillow prevents it from growing any more;" others declare that bit of cloth in a grown persons pillow will cause wasting sickness. Putting an open pair of scissors under

WEST POINT CADETS.
The Somewhat DlsagreeabIe Lot of the

The Somewhat Dlsagreeable Lot of the
 "PIebes" or First-Year Men.
 The summer camp is one round of labor for the plebe, as the first-year man is called at West Point. If he were transported to another planet, there could hardly be a greater change in his life than that which he experi- ences when he leaves the comforts of his home and plunges into the routine of military drill and discipline of West Point He rises at five in the morning for reveille, and in half an hour marches to breakfast. the interval being em- ployed in doing the policing of his own tent, and of the tent of the cadet to whom he may stand in the relation of ''special-duty man." When he walks, he marches with depressed toes and outspread palms. He has two hours of drill every morning, and an- other hour with parade m the after noon. After tattoo, which is at half past eight. he may retire; but no downy couch awaits him. He spreads his blanket on the tent floor, and spreads himself on that, with a quilt drawn over him for protection against the night cold. The only change from this programme is on Sundays, or on days when he marches on guard. On Sum- day there is the Sunday morning in- spection, and two hours at chapel, making it any thing but day of rest; and when, as a sentinel, he marches on guard in the morning. he walks post two hours at stretch in sunshine and in rain, with four-hour intervals, dur ing the whole twenty-four hours that elapse before the guard is relieved.
 This much, in general, falls to the lot of every plebe, in the way of duty. Aside from this, comes in the question of his treatment by older cadets. Abil- ity to sing, play, dance or render one's self entertaining in some such way is highly appreciated by cadets; and a readiness to exercise what few accom- plishments he may possess usually saves the plebe much harassing.
 Of course all do not escape so easily. Many have guns to clean, and water to carry, and bedding to pile for the upper-class men. and are unpleasantly ''roughed" in other ways; but the ill., usage which a new cadet ordinarily re- ceives is almost always exaggerated in the accounts which reach the public through the press.

A WATcHMAKER's FAME.

F. s. Bartlett was one of the origi- nal foremen in the pioneer Waltham factory, and his name was adopted as q trademark and has been running as such very nearly thirty years. At the lowest calculation 500,O0O Bartlett watches have been made and sold. The exact figures are not at hand, but this is about as near as can be esti- mated. The Bartlett watch is unques- tioEably one of the most popular watches ever made. It ranks almost as high as the adjusted Appleton, Tracy 6 Co.," and is, in fact, con structed on the same model. The pat ent regulator Bartlett is full jeweled, has compensating balance fitted with the Waltham patent Breguet hair spring, which is hardened and tenn pered in fern so as never to change it's curve, and is very closely regulated. It is made for any kind of silver or gold cases. The latest improvement in the Bartlett watch is in the Open-face style to wind and set without ever opening the case, the winding as well as the hand-setting being done by the crown only. Unlike the arrangements in oth- CT watches this Bartlett hand-set is in the neck of the case, so that it does not at all complicate the movement. Up- ward of 1000 of them have been pur- chased by the British Government dur ing the past ten years and are used on the state railways in India For the same purpose the colonial authorities of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia have large orders in hand. Through these excellent time keepers P. S. Bartlett's name is known in all civilized countries.-M '. JeUeL- erS' Weekly.

To Owe or Not to Owe.

(Which is the best, to owe or to have something owing to you?" asked Colonel Lagerbeer of Gus De Smith the other day.
 "Why, to have something owing to you, of courSe," answered Gus, who is one of the brightest society youths in Austin.
 'I don't agree with you," said Lagerbeer.
 Well, why not?''
 Because if you have something owing to you you may never get it. But if you owe something, when you are able to pay it, you have value re- ceived, anyhow; and if you never pay why, then you are sure to make a handsome profit. ."-TeraS Sittings.
